Pros: A dangerous short-yardage and goal-line runner, displaying both power and elusiveness with natural running skills. He has developed further as a receiver to be a complete feature back, but he lacks the flair and breakaway speed of the premier backs to rank much higher. Has the natural running skills to land a feature back role at some point in his pro career. He uses his compact frame to be his own blocker and combines quick feet, balance and vision to hit the hole quickly.Cons: He needs much more work on his route-running, assignments and reading coverage before he is ready to compete for a third-down back role. As a blocker, he is not afraid to take on linebackers, but he certainly needs more technique work and recognition in that vital area. Numbers: During his senior season he led the club in rushing with 1298 yards on 275 carries for an excellent 4.7 yards-per-carry average and 14 TDs. He caught 31 passes for 371 yards and three TDs. At the Combine, he ran a 4.63 in the 40 with 18 reps in lifting, a 32-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot, 6-inch broad jump.Skinny: Though not considered among the high-profile runners, he has the the talent to progress as a pro. A punishing back with the toughness to surprise in the NFL and win a starting role. Will likely hear his name called in the fourth round.
